So, a couple of things. I’ve been staring at the computer screen for way too long, but that’s besides the point. I finally did something that I’ve been meaning to do for a while. After extensive and exhaustive research I’ve finally found a hosting company that I would be happy to give money to. Within the hour I had seen more customer service and personal touch than I had ever seen with any hosting company. I had to pick my jaw up off the ground. What did they do? Well, because I’m not savvy in transferring database files the feature that really caught my eye (well, what feature isn’t great? Seriously?) was:

We’ll move your old data for you
That’s right. If you’re migrating from an existing host that utilise Cpanel/WHM, then we will move your data and files for you. Simply contact our support team and provide us with your existing account information with your old host, and we’ll do the rest. Once complete, we’ll let you know when to update the DNS or nameservers. Can’t get better than that, eh?

So I did. I put in a ticket and said, move my stuff! Please. My previous host (IX web hosting, horrible horrible company, stay away from them) didn’t even have cpanel set up correctly so I got a support email asking how I would like to proceed. That was around the time I was leaving work last night so instead of replying I packed up my stuff and headed home. By the time I got home (remember, I live 3.8 miles away from work) I had another email saying

“I just moved everything manually to your new remote server and everything seems to be working, I hope that was ok?”

Um, gee. Was that ok? ZOMG you people are awesome! And quick, dang my site loads fast and such. I’m very happy with my new business relationship.

I’ve been up all night looking at design and getting idea’s. I do this from time to time. Just cuz.

I’m having issues with my IT382 class right now. Well, it’s not so much the class but it’s more having to do with frustration with the Professors lack of grading. This is a pretty strict Professor that repeated several times if you make certain mistakes then she would give you an automatic zero. One such as myself starts shaking when I hear that because I work hard for my good grades.

The problem I’m having is … I’m not getting any direction. I should have already started my Phase 3 Individual Project by now because I like to hand in my work early and not feel rushed to get it done. I’m hesitant however, because the Professor hasn’t graded my previous two Individual Projects so I don’t even know if I’m on the right path. This is so frustrating to me. It’s more then frustrating. I’ve emailed her about not grading the first one and I got a less then friendly email back saying she had a lot of papers to grade and I would just have to wait. She made an announcement to my class that she would have the first individual project graded by the 21st, and the 2nd Individual project graded by last night or early this morning. So far, nothing.

So, I feel like I’m winging it and I hate that. I feel that she’s not providing any guidance and it’s so frustrating. I also don’t think it’s very fair to our class. I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling this way.

Sigh.

It’s becoming very obvious that this quarter is going to kick my ass sideways and front-ways and every which way it possibly can. I’m actually a little bit scared. My Systems Administration class requires 5-10 page APA sytle papers per week. This includes the cover sheet, a table of contents, a summery page and a references page. I’ve noticed that Office 2008 for Mac is my best friend more then I realized because it has all that stuff built in. I just have to customize it to my liking and the hard part is writing the actual paper itself.

I’m afraid that my WoW days are going to be extremely limited for the next 6 weeks. As sad as that makes me, school is priority.

Luckily I have the first few assignments completed for my Java class already but it doesn’t mean I don’t have a ton of studying to do, because I do. A TON.

Well, it’s the end of the quarter and I just got my final grades back for my IT254 class and I ended the quarter with a B+. I have the whole next week off from school and so far I’ve been spending that time playing WoW which after careful thought I should be using that time to get me ahead a little with Java.

Overall Stats for school (Yay, I made the deans list again!):

Program: Associate of Science in Information Technology
Concentration: Software Systems Engineering
Enrollment Status: Active
GPA: 3.73
Credits Attempted: 38.00
Credits Earned: 65.00
